Many appreciate its compatibility with various systems and its performance in burning and reading discs. However, some customers find the price to be a bit high.

    This was so easy to use, you basically just plug it in and it starts working. As with all Apple products, there aren't really instructions included, but I didn't really need any. Works well

    The new desktops don’t have DVD/CD drives any more and this is the simplest way to load all those old CD’s. Great unit- no software, no apps, just plug and use.

    I purchased a generic CD drive and could not get it to function due to the need of 2 USB ports for power. Purchased this Apple products and it works perfectly! It's worth the extra dollars!

    I wasn't sure I would like not having the drive built into the laptop but have decided I do. It's easy to plug and do what I need to do then unplug. It makes the laptop lighter so much easier to travel with.

    When we got the MacBook we got this with it for possibly downloading stuff or watching movies. We haven't used it very much yet, but watching movies with it is great. No problems so far.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    MacBook Pro with no CD drive. CDs are last century but are products offered that way, no alternative. This purchase required for their functional use with Mac, and this external drive the only selection with Apple/Mac branding. Uncertain 3rd party-equipment interoperability so 'rode with the brand' so to speak.

    It is nice to not have a CD : DVD drive in the system. To have an external system that you can connect and use is very good business plan. Some days you need it others you do not. It can be broken down to fit in my laptop travel bag.
